I have a friend coming all the way here for lunch...from overseas....I did offer to go to London! They will probably only be here two hours.
I am still trying to remain, even though I just got abused & threatened, & the abusive person complained & got an apology from my manager... It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

Tomorrow, Mrs Wheezy and I will be going to a preview of a new Mike Leigh play on South Bank.

And many thanks to LydiaJ for ridding us of our dependency on Russian and Norwegian gas imports and making the link into the European leccy grid redundant. :T0 -

The old Soviet saying, "As long as they pretend to pay me, I'll pretend to work"....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

How much is enough?
DH recently had a similar comment from a trainee at work when ''asking'' trainee if they wanted the opportunity to do something pro bono. DH gave the trainee a list of jobs people do for less money that are more immeadiately of benefit to other people and gave the probono work to another trainee, before putting trainee one on the work they felt ''paid to do''. (which dh was also doing). Trainee had misunderstood what it means to be ''asked'' by someone they are appointed to, and the pro bono person was finished work by 6:30 pm and able to go..trainee had to work til dh called it a day...sometimes the caring choice is the right one!0 -

What a Class A pillock. Anyone with any sense knows that, when a pupil or trainee, the answer to, "woud you like to do XX?" is always, always, "yes"....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
